Rep. Ryan earned a 100 percent score in NARAL Pro-Choice America's 2011 Congressional Record on Choice.
Voted twice Voted twice against the proposal to block Planned Parenthood from receiving any federal funds, which would have denied millions of Americans access to contraception, cancer screenings, and other basic medical care.
Voted against H.R.3, a bill that would ban abortion coverage in state health-insurance exchanges; impose tax penalties on small businesses and many individuals who purchase private health plans that include abortion coverage; and make permanent several restrictions that block many women from accessing abortion care.
Voted to ensure that hospitals must provide emergency abortion care to women who could die without it.
"I believe that for elected leaders like myself who oppose abortion, it's not enough to say what we're against; we must say what we are for. That is why I came together with my pro-choice colleague Rep. Rosa DeLauro of Connecticut to introduce the Preventing Unintended Pregnancies, Reducing the Need for Abortion, and Supporting Parents Act, which offers common-ground policy solutions to reduce abortions by addressing the root causes."
